A date for judgement would be announced soon

By Frank Pinicop

The Supreme Court has, today Thursday, reserved the judgment on appeal filed before it by Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf challenging the ruling of Court of Appeal which declared Nasir Gawuna of All Progressive Congress (APC) as duly elected governor of the state.

The apex court said the date for the judgment on the matter will be communicated to both parties

During the proceeding, the Supreme Court has accepted the APC's Certified True Copy (CTC) cross appeal by recognizing the Appeal Court judgement that favored Gawuna and rejected the first Appeal Court judgement that purportedly favoured Abba Yusuf.

It can be recalled that in his cross appeal, Governor Yusuf of New Nigeria People's Party (NNP) challenged the judgment of Court Appeal which declared Gawuna the winner of governorship election, and prayed for the Supreme Court to uphold his victory as duly elected governor of Kano state.

In his part, the APC governorship candidate, Nasir Gawuna told the Supreme Court, through his lawyers, that, firstly, Abba Yusuf was not a member of NNPP during the election and misled INEC with falsified documents of claim membership.

Secondly, he (Abba Yusuf) did not secure the majority of the valid votes.

Thirdly, there was significant noncompliance with the Electoral Act 2022.

And, finally, Gawuna has asked the Supreme Court to uphold the judgement of the Appeal Court which declared him winner.
